I also want to know.  I have a 520 Express + upgrade of Disk also 2 GB
RAM.  I am looking at adding an expansion tower with 12 146 GB disk
drives and LAPR for mirroring our main production.  I only have 500 CPW
but the current usage is below 5% CPU.  Splitting off the necessary CPU
should be no problem, may want to add RAM.  Would like to hear from any
one with first hand experience.

Can anyone speak to the performance of 2 lpars on a model 520 Express
#0901 (1000 cpw, 2 gig memory) ?
One production, 20-30 light to moderate green screen rpg users, and 3
developers on 2nd lpar.
Charts say it can take up to 4 lpars.
Have never lpar'd such a small box.
Already have the 520.
